«Les Bucoliques» is the collection of ten pastoral poems by Virgil, published by Hatier in paperback (128 pages, in French).
The ten poems of «Les Bucoliques» recreate pastoral life in an idealized Arcadia and in the countryside of Mantua. Virgil draws inspiration from Theocritus and presents shepherds who converse about love, nature, and the crises of the 1st century BC, with hope for a new golden age.
Edition by Hatier and Les Belles Lettres in the «Bac latin» collection, with complete text, translation by Eugène de Saint-Denis, and pedagogical commentary by Christine Tardiveau.
Intended for high school Latin students and readers interested in classical literature.
Publius Vergilius Maro, usually called Virgil or Vergil in English, was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He composed three of the most famous poems in Latin literature: the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. Some minor poems, collected in the Appendix Vergiliana, were attributed to him in ancient times, but modern scholars regard these as spurious, with the possible exception of some short pieces.
